Does Serviio support transcoding of DVR-MS files?

Hello,

I'm new to Serviio and mostly looking for something to take advantage of the DLNA capabilities of my TVs. I downloaded and set it up easily enough but once it has discovered the folders on my server and I try to play a movie that is in dvr-ms format, my TV says it's file type is unsupported. I thought that was the point of transcoding? My TV is a newer LG. What kind of information is needed in order to figure this out - or does Serviio not support those formats? .MPG files play fine.

Try to update the LG profile with this Transcoding block:


  Code:
  <Transcoding>
            <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3">
                <Matches container="matroska" aCodec="dca" />
            </Video>
            <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" >
                <Matches container="flv" />
                <Matches container="asf" vCodec="wmv2"/>
                <Matches container="rm" />
                <Matches container="asf" vCodec="mpeg2video" />
            </Video>
        </Transcoding>


If it doesn't work, try this:

  Code:
  <Transcoding>
            <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3">
                <Matches container="matroska" aCodec="dca" />
            </Video>
            <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" >
                <Matches container="flv" />
                <Matches container="asf" vCodec="wmv2"/>
                <Matches container="rm" />
            </Video>
            <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" forceVTranscoding="true">
                <Matches container="asf" vCodec="mpeg2video" />
             </Video>
        </Transcoding>
